CONE-WAFFLE-PACKING CASE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 14, 1909.

T 0 all 'whom it may concern.'

Be it known that we,.i-\Li:xaxni:n G. NDALAFT and Miei-nn Axnamr'r, citizens and subjects, respectively, of the United States and the Sultan ot' Turkey, and residing at -Kansas City, in the county ot' Jackson and State ot' Missouri, have inrente-d certain new and useful improvevments in Cone-lVatlle-Packing Cases, of

which the following is a specilication.

(.)ur invention relates to cone wallie packing cases and our object is to produce a case struction and organization as hereinafter described and claimed; and in order that it may be fully understood reference is to bc had to the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure l, is a plan view of a conc wallie packing case embodying our invention with the cover omitted and with the upper perforated support broken away to expose one of the supporting frames therefor. Fig. 2, is a vertical longitudinal section of, the same showing two cone wallles supported therein and bearing a nested relation to each other. 1 y

In the said drawing, l indicates a rectangular case or box of cardboard or equivalent material and 2 a cover theret'or ot' similar material.

3 indicates a )air of rectangular cardboardframes fitting in the case or box and of such size and proportion that they will tit against opposite end walls ot' the ease or box and against the side walls thereof` and leave a. central space between them, the depth of said frames slightly exeeedinghalt the depth of one of the cone wallles hereinafter referred to.

4 indicates a support ot' cardboard or equivalent material of rectangular lorm adapted to tit snugly in the, ease or box and rest upon the frames 3, said supporti-l being provided with circular holes 5 so spaced that certain of them shall occur within the planes'of frames 3 and the remainder in lvert-ical alinement with the space between Said frames.

(i indicates a pair of frames of precisely the same. conliguration and arrangement as lrames 3 except ,that they are supported upon the perforated support it, and T indicates a perforated support corresponding to support Lt in every respect and resting upon lramcs (l, the arrangementbeing such that the perforations 8 of support T shall be in vertical alinement with the perforations 5 ot' frame Je, it being further noticed that the horizontal chambers or compartments into which the case or box is divided are of substantially the same deoth and that supports 4; and 7 cooperate with frames 8 and (3 in bracing and stili'ening the case or box against collapse by any ordinary pressure applied upon the same.

E) indicates cone wallles otthe character or type packed and shipped in the case` it being noticed that they extend down through pertorations in the supports Je and T and that those carried by the support 7 have. their lower ends fitted or nested into the wallles supported by support 4, which arrangement not only permits of the packing of a larger number ot' wallles in a single case but likewise guards against any material oscillatory lnotion thereof whereby contiguous conc wallles carried by the same support may contact with each other with sut'- licicnt force to result in breakage, it being further apparent that by thus nesting the wallles they as a whole, contribute to some extent to the stitlening and strengthening ot' the case and hence to their own protection.

lt will be understood ot' course that the case or box may be ot size or proportion to accommodate more of the perforated supports 4 and 7 and a corresponding number of the supporting frames and also may be of greaterlcngth to accommodate a greater number ot' such frames in the same horizon- ,tal plane, it beingfurther noted that the Having thus described the invention what packed, resting on the bottom of the box and against the side Walls thereof, one of the frames also vfitting against one-end Wall of the box and the other against the other end Wall of the box, a horizontal support 4 fitting snugly in the box and resting on the side and end Walls of said frames and provided with circular perforations 5, a second pair of rectangular frames 6 corresponding in forniand size to frames-3, fitting snugly in the box vertically above the first pair and resting on said horizontal support, and a second horizontal support 7 fitting snugly in the box and resting upon the side and end Walls of the frames 6 and provided with circular perforations 8 vertlcally alined with' perforations 5 so that inverted cone Waffles supported by and 'projecting down through the perforations 8 shall fit within but not come in contact with similarly-arranged cone Waies supported by and projecting -down through the horizontal support 4.

In testimony whereof we affix our signatures, 111 the presence of two Witnesses.
